The only dramatic work I've ever seen Alison Brie in is Mad Men, and she's the funniest character on the show that isn't Betty or Roger.

I'm amused that some people think this notion of revealing Bane's actions were a result of his absolute/unconditional loyalty and love to Talia turns the him into a lowly henchmen or lapdog and that everything he did was undercut as a result. It really doesn't. That's like saying everything Darth Vader did in the original Star Wars trilogy didn't mean poo poo because it was at the bidding of the emperor.

It's because the Emperor was an evil space wizard and Talia was a girl.

Games of Thrones is setting careers on fire I guess. It's a really good show but I don't understand the hype.

It's basically a costumed political drama/actor's showcase/tits, dragons, and zombies. It really isn't that complicated.

The worst memory I have of Garden State is that I was taking film classes at the time, and 90% of the final projects had music from that soundtrack playing over them. So, not only can I not stand the movie, i also associate it with a bunch of bad student films on top of that.

Cause BLUE EYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS, You're all that I need

It is pretty funny that the Garden State soundtrack won a Grammy.

Agreed. Between the Iron Mans and Hulk, Marvel keeps making the same mistake of having their big final fight take place at night. It's nice in theory - oooh darkness, plus it makes the effects easier - but in practice it's the same dull plodding visually uninteresting mess.

The Avengers' climax was slightly more visually interesting, though it was hampered by intercutting the more interesting VFX shots with Whedon's direction.

I can think that most comic book fans are losers but also that an actor calling people who rightfully bailed on his bad show, "losers", is dumb as gently caress.

Fun is such a nebulous term when it comes to describing something that it's really not worth using.

Only Cinema loving Discusso would ever call "fun" a nebulous term that doesn't describe something.

That was badly phrased on my part. Let's say instead that in terms of critical evaluation and not audience engagement, fun is useless as a descriptor.

That might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater though.

Amusing, maybe. Enjoyable is a comparable term but not interchangeably so. In the English language these are three words that mean three different things and people often use these terms to describe various different things and we understand what we say when we say those things to each other because this is not the literal first time we've ever exchanged vernacular with another human being.

Even a term so broadly biased still doesn't mean anything you want it to mean. Calling 12 Years a Slave enjoyable is understandable depending on how you clarify that experience. Call it "fun" or "amusing" and you'll get weird looks from other English-speaking peoples no matter how you qualify it because "subjective" is not a synonym for "meaningless."

"What does the term fun describe?" C'mon, y'all.

It's only a sticking point because fun doesn't really enter the discussion in terms of critical analysis. It's an indicator of personal engagement with a film, not a way to evaluate it.

I am actually legitimately curious about what the experience of a Brett Ratner helmed Marvel pic would be like.

Granted, the curiosity is more morbid than anything else, but still.

Bane and Talia designed everything about the Fall of Gotham to torture Bruce, and all of the class warfare dialogue and such was to cloud their motives to the rest of the world.

It reflects the film's central throughline of Bruce dealing with who and what he has become and the other main characters only existing as shades of the good and the bad aspects about his character.

Whether it worked is up for debate (I feel personally that it did and didn't at the same time), but I think that it was a radical shift from how the first two movies were written, which made it somewhat off putting.
